1 Guds Engle sang i Stjernetal,
I Stjernetal;
Nu Gud ske Lov i høien Hal!
Halleluja, Halleluja!

2 Fuld sødt det klang i Englekor:
I Englekor:
Guds Fred! Guds Fred! Guds Fred paa Jord!
Halleluja, Halleluja!

3 O Gud ske Lov for Julenat!
For Julenat!
Nu komme Nyaarsmorgen brat,
Halleluja, Halleluja!

4 Saa vokse vi i Lys og Løn
I Lys og Løn
Til Guds Behag med Davids Søn.
Halleluja, Halleluja!

5 Guds Engle, kom de kom til Mænd,
De kom til Mænd,
Saa komme vi til dem igjen.
Halleluja, Halleluja!

6 Fra Betlehem til Stjerneslot,
Til Stjerneslot,
Nu kjende vi den Veien godt.
Halleluja, Halleluja!

7 Thi Jesus er den Himmelvei,
Den Himmelvei,
Som skinner klart og sviger ei.
Halleluja, Halleluja!

Ført ned til Jord,
Den fører os til Englekor
Halleluja, Halleluja!

Og Krone paa

Halleluja, Halleluja!

10 Gud Fader ske Lov, Tak og Pris,
Lov, Tak og Pris!
Guds Søn og Aanden ligervis!
Halleluja, Halleluja!
